“Even with the huge resource our workers are victims of percentage payment with bailout 1 and 2 and Paris/London club refund 1 and 2 civil servants were owned backlog of arrears”.

Saying the pronouncements of President Muhammad Buhari on bailout and Paris/London club refund to clear arreas of salaries and pension is an exercise in futility.
